http://en.lichess.org/J2OMNTiE/white#43I get my king to the 8th rank, but its a draw.... Why is this...
I thought it was odd too but with the rules set for this variant, it makes sense.
The purpose of the game is to be the first player that moves his king to the eight row. When white moves their king to the eight row, and black moves directly after that also their king to the last row, the game is a draw (this rule is to compensate for the advantage of white that they may move first.)
